**Job Requisition ID #** 26WD98536 **Position Overview** Autodesk Education Experiences (AEX) helps students, educators, and institutions access Autodesk tools, learning programs, and certifications. We are seeking a Software Development Engineer to build and deliver education-focused product experiences that support teaching and learning across Autodesk platforms. Our team operates like a startup within Autodesk—small, fast-moving, and focused on delivering high-quality products. You’ll work across the product stack, including backend services, integrations, automation, experimentation, and user-facing features. This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy taking ownership of customer-facing products from concept to launch and collaborating across disciplines to deliver meaningful user experiences. **Responsibilities** Start strong: you will write production-quality code, maintain and connect systems, and collaborate with cross-functional teammates to deliver education features for Autodesk products. You will help take ideas from early exploration through implementation, launch, and iteration. Typical responsibilities include: * Implement backend services APIs, integrations, and product infrastructure that support education product features and platform experiences * Move quickly from prototype to production, balancing speed, quality, maintainability, and user impact * Integrate and productize ML/AI solutions in close collaboration with digital experience and platform engineering teams * Build and maintain automation, plugins or SDKs for CAD platforms (e.g., Fusion, Revit, 3DS Max, Maya), including tooling to support reproducible experiments and product delivery * Work across product and engineering boundaries, including lightweight frontend integration, data pipelines, service orchestration, experimentation tooling, or internal product workflows when needed * Work with CI/CD systems (Jenkins, GitHub Actions) and containerized deployments (Docker), and contribute to
